New Japan invalidate the the title switch, apparently TNA did not get permission to switch them, so TEAM 3D are still the IWGP World Tag Team Champions.
NEW JAPAN Just issued this press release today, Google it, Youtube it. It's F'N' True!
Yeah Wrestling fan here.
If this is on TNA official site, then I call it a work (Fake story just to trick fans into watching their program or gaining more hits to their site).
No it's not
TNA has always been terrible in everything it does except...
The Knockouts... Ruined
X Divsion... Ruined
The Chet Lemon and Black Snow commentary team? which lasted a hour...
So this doesn't surprise me. WCW done on the cheap isn't really competition.
So after some futher digging around wrestling sites (Not Rajah's) and by finding the listings for tonight's impact line up, it seems that you are correct. And if this feels very WCW to you, rememeber that Vince Russo is the main booker/writer on the show...
